The, uh, accessory with the Hy-Gain Colinear in the upper left corner of Page 16 looks pretty promising. And the slogan is great -- "No home should be without one" ;D

Fun trip back to the past. Actually had a Pace 2300 in a semi I drove back when. It'd put out 12 watts when peaked and tweaked. Which I think was more power than the truck engine could develop...

Oh yeah- Hy-Gain seemed to always have great accessories! 8-P

Those old CB days were something else. People had respect and the CBers stayed on the CB and seldom got into 10M. Maybe got into a few TV sets with those leenyars they openly sold at the time. I did not realize there was a business band in that range or that it was AM requiring a linear amp.

Oh yeah. Crew cuts and Narrow ties.

BTW, on page 19 is a Topaz inverter. I used one of those things in our communications service trucks in the early 70's and had to build a filter for it so I could power the Cushman service monitors.
